COOLER FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION-ENGINE RADIATORS'.

Application filed May 6, 1918.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL BARUoH, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of New York city, borough ofManhattan, 1n the county of New York and State of New York, haveinvented a new and Improved Cooler for Internal-Combustion-EngineRadiators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention has for its object to provide a cheap and eflicient coolerfor internal combustion engine radiators, the cooler having a drum inwhich extends a perforated tube connected with the interior ofthe'radiator, so that the steam may pass upwardly and through theperforations in the tube where it will be cooled by the drum and by theair which will fiow upwardly in the radiator overflow pipe to the drum,the condensed steam flowing back through the lower perforations in thetube and into the radiator.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the followingspecification in which the preferred form of my invention is described.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts inall the views, in which-- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation showing myimprovement; and

Figure 2 is a sectional plan view on the line 2--2 of Figure 1.

"By referring to the drawings, it will be seen thata drum 5 is provided,having a head 6 at its bottom, in which there is an opening 7 throughwhich is disposed a tube 8. This tube 8 has perforations or orifices 9above the head 6 and extending above the top 10 of the drum 5, so thatits upper end 11 will be disposed in the seat 12 on the cap or head 13which closes the upper end of the drum. The cap or head 13 is secured inplace at the top of the drum 5 by threads 14 which mesh with threads 15in the drum. There are orifices 16 in the top and at the sides of thecap or head 13 to permit the escape of vapor.

The lower end of the tube 8 is threaded, so that nuts 17, 18 and 19 maybe turned thereon, these nuts 17 18 and 19 being provided for securingthe tube 8 in place relatively to the drum 5 and for securing theSpecification of Letters Patent.

drum 5 in position on top of the radiator cap 20 which has an opening 21through which the lower portion of the tube 8 is disposed.

As indicated in the drawings the nut 17 presses against the top of thelower head 6 of the drum; the nut 18 presses against the bottom of thelower head 16 and serves to space the drum 5 from the radiator cap 20;thenut 19 being disposed below the top of the cap 20 so that the nuts 18and 19 will hold the tube 8 and with it the drum 5, securely in positionrelatively to the radiator.

It will be understood by referring to the drawings that steam from theradiator will pass up the tube 8 into the drum 5 where it will becondensed because of the cooling effect of the air against the drum 5 asthe automobile is in motion and also because of the air which will flowup the radiator overflow pipe 22 to and through the tube 8, the vaporand the air from the radiator overflow pipe 22 passing out of theperforations 9 to the drum 5 in a manner readily understood. When thevapor is condensed the fluid will flow through the lower perforations 9back to the radiator 23 through the lower perforations 9.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. In a cooler for internal combustion engine radiators, a drum with ahead at its bottom provided with an opening, and hav ing another head atits top, there being a seat in the last mentioned head, a perforatedtube extending through the opening and having its upper end disposed inthe seat, there being an opening at the top of the drum, a radiator caphaving an opening through which the lower end of the tube is disposed,the lower end of the tube being threaded and three nuts meshing with thethread on the tube, one disposed above the bottom head of the drum, thesecond between the drum and the cap, and the third within the cap forholding the tube in position relatively to the drum and for securing thetube to the radiator cap.

2. In a cooler for internal combustion engine radiators, a drum with ahead at its bottom and another head at its top, there Car the bottomheadof the drum, the second being dis osed between the drum and the cap, andt e third within the cap for holding 10 the tube in position relativelyto the drum and for securing the tube to the radiator cap.

SAMUEL BARUCH.
